TO THE DEMOCRACY.

I.rr1xnrnN x Inl,

On the'eve of the election we APP
peal to- YOU Immediately after the
adjournment of the convention, We
organized ;'and after full consul
tation with the candidates, the faith
full and able Chairman of tho for
mer Committee and other leading
Democratsfrom different parts of
the State, a plan of campaign was
agreed upon, which has been carried
out. '".'.''i
Animated by desire to have the
full vote poiled, every effort has
been made to arouse the party,
compose local troubles, secure the
attention and awaken The interest
of the people and perfect the organ
ization. Our success has exceeded
our expectations. .
The gentlemen nominated for the
various offices are indeed worthy OF
the confidence teposed in them
clean, able and competent. The
State may felicitate heIself that her
executive affairs will be under the
control of such men, and we owe it
to them to increase our, usual ma
ljority. The party has been put on
trial at the bar of public opinion,
and our management of the State
for the past twenty-five years has
been abusively challenged. The is
sue has been frankly eand boldly
met, without shrinking or apology
and to the intelligence and sense Of
right of the people has been submit
tied the record Of THOSE years, and
on that record we demand an &C.
Iquittal that shall be Overwhelming
and that shall forever settle that is
sue; an acquittai as overwhelming
| as the Islander of Our opponents
| have been groundless and the refu.
tation of their charges complete,
The honor of the PARTY and Of TIT
| State commands every Democrat, al
any sacrifice, to put the condemna
ton of his suffrage upon these cal
umnies and once more demonstrate
that in Kentucky acampaign found
ed upon falsehood is ais profitless as
| it is unhecoming. r =
i This is the first general State
election in the year preceding the
Presidential electiod.' After exclu.
sion for twenty-five years from voice
| in the Executive Department of the
United States, the people have en-.
trusted this enormous power to us
and upon us imposed this solemn
responsibility. The reversal fpol-
|itics, which have been in force for a
lquarter of a century cannot be ac-
complished in SO brief a period +;
nor can the politics which will Sc
cure equality to every section and
lgiye impartial prosperity to all in
dustries be made permanent in one
term, The prosperity Of the coun-
try demands the Continuance Of
Democratic rule. we can give add
ed hope and and great happiness to
our friends in our sister States by a
glorious victory. A disastrous
rout Of our adversaries in Kentucky
will be one more proof that the peo-
|ple have determined to destroy the
Republican party, whose day Of USE
fulness has long since expired, and
whose continued existence is a per-
lpetual menace to good government
and constitutional liberty.
In tha =, a M q of 4 bo af;o,, 81 na,,
ocratic party we beg every Kentucky
| Democrat to vote, to permit moth
ling to prevent the discharge of this
high civic duty.
| We entreat our comrades not to
| throw their votes away, every vote
cast for Judge Fox or the ticket
nominated at Lagrange is a vote
wasted SO far as practical result is
concerned, but every vote taken
| from Buckner will be claimed as
Ieyidence that our party is dimin-
| ishlng or as a personal reflection
upon our superb leader. We can
confidently assure you that the Oh
ganization of the party is vigorous
and efiectiyei from every section
comes the same report; everywhere
is there resolute and even enthusi-
astic determination to achieve such
: a victory as will render future con
!, tests unnecessary. Increased ma
/ jorities are promised by the COM
mittees in every county. During
: the remaining days Of the canvass
, we urge that public meetings be
held in every precinct. We know
whereof we speak-our victory is
: already gloriously won. The actu-
al vote will be larger than ever be-
fore; the relative vote greater. Ev-
, erywhere has our noble leader been
J. received with enthusiasm, every
/ where has he won the love Of The
/, people.
: And as your servants, charged BY
your order with the nianagemen
!, of this campaign, We entreat you to
! aid US to make this year illuatr-
GUS by the utter and hhlniliating
